Championship for two
In the ranking of European championships, the League of Portugal is in seventh place, which indicates the strength of the teams and the championship itself. Many talented Brazilians come here, and Portugal is not deprived of its talents. Also, there is no dominance of one team, which is already good. The bad news is that the Portuguese League is dominated by two clubs: Porto and Benfica. Over the past twenty years, only once, in the 2020-2021 season, Sporting became the champion.
In the national championship, the teams overcame a third of the tournament distance. It is possible and necessary to sum up the preliminary results and see if the situation with the dominance of Porto and Benfica has changed. Find out who else can claim the championship and get into the Champions League zone. Today, four teams are in a real fight for awards:
- Benfica
- Porto
- Sporting
- Braga
Benfica
The team leads the standings and successfully performs in the group stage of the Champions League, where it has already secured access to the playoffs. In the summer transfer window, two strikers left the club: Darwin Nunez for Liverpool for €80 million and Roman Yaremchuk for Genk (€16 million). The most expensive purchase was David Nares (Miner €15.3 million). There were no other high-profile acquisitions. The Eagles prefer to buy young players and then sell them to richer clubs. Benfica is the record holder for the number of league titles, the team has 37 of them. Apparently, this season the team will be at the top of the standings, in any case, the bookmakers think so. The coefficient for the title is 1 to 2.7.
Porto
Last year’s champion is currently second in the standings, eight points behind the leader. But in the Champions League, the “dragons” are doing well, they, like their eternal rival, have already secured access to the playoffs. It seems that the team’s game was not too affected by the departure of the midfield leaders (Vitinha sold to PSG for €41.5 million, Fabio Vieira to Arsenal for €35 million). Traditionally, Portuguese clubs spend less on purchases than they receive from sales. The most significant acquisition came from Braga (central defender David Carmo €20 million). According to the bookmakers, Porto can still return to the title race – the probability of this is estimated at a factor of 1 to 5.
Sporting
Another Portuguese team that continues to fight in the Champions League and has every chance of reaching the playoffs. Last season, the Green-Whites finished second, six points behind the champions. In the summer off-season, Sporting sold more than bought. The most serious losses are the departures to Wolverhampton of central midfielder Matheus Nunez (€40m) and left-back Nuno Mendez (PSG €38m). There were no major acquisitions. Bookmakers do not believe too much in the championship of Sporting: 1 to 8.5.
Braga
Today, the “gunsmiths” are third in the standings and are more fighting for a place in the Champions League than for the league title. In the Europa League, the team is also doing poorly, leaving the group is a big question. In the summer, the “gunsmiths” strengthened mainly due to free agents; in terms of composition, Braga is inferior to its main competitors. The chances of winning the championship, according to bookmakers, are ghostly 1 to 18.
